Redeployment Portal - setup guide

Modified on Wed, 26 Mar at 3:29 PM

The Redeployment feature provides a range of tools for HR teams and managers to effectively manage redeployment workflows, empowering organisations to prioritise internal talent mobility and reduce redundancies.

 

Key features of the Redeployment feature

  • Dedicated Redeployment Portal
     
    Redeployees gain exclusive access to a portal showcasing jobs posted specifically for redeployees, ensuring confidentiality and ease of access.
  • Comprehensive Caseload Management
     Redeployment Managers can track and manage redeployees with features such as:
    • Assigning redeployees to jobs that match their preferences and skills.
    • Monitoring their status through customisable Redeployment stages.
    • Viewing detailed Redeployment history to ensure transparency and compliance.
  • Streamlined job matching and assignment
    Redeployees can be matched to roles using advanced filters based on preferences such as location, job type and salary. Redeployment Managers can assign candidates to roles as incomplete applications, with key details pre-filled for efficiency.
  • Tailored notifications and communications
     Built-in email templates keep redeployees informed at every stage of the process, including registration, job assignments and status updates.

  • Customisable Settings
     You can tailor redeployment process to your organisation’s needs, with settings for:
    • Redeployment statuses
    • Withdrawal reasons
    • Redeployment forms for gathering preferences and qualifications.

To allow a system user to add redeployees, follow these steps:

  • Go to Settings > System Users
  • Add or edit a system user.
  • Enable the Redeployment Manager toggle.
  • Choose if the user should have visibility of only viewing their own redeployee candidates, by choosing View Own.
  • If the user is to have access to other manager’s redeployees, choose View All.
  • A unique Redeployment Manager ID will be generated.  If you already have your own system for tracking redeployment users with an ID number, this can be overwritten with your own sequential tracking number, however it must be unique.

 

Redeployment Settings

All settings relating to redeployment can be found in the Redeployment Settings area in the General Settings menu.

  • Set statuses such as Active to indicate redeployees currently seeking roles, Placed for those successfully redeployed and Withdrawn for candidates no longer participating in redeployment.
  • Custom statuses can be created to reflect specific stages of the process, such as Interview Scheduled or Pending Decision, allowing managers to identify bottlenecks and take targeted actions.
  • These statuses improve workflow management by offering a clear view of each redeployee’s current stage, facilitating timely interventions and reporting for compliance or internal reviews.

To add a Redeployment status, follow these steps:

  1. Go to General Settings > Redeployment > Redeployment Statuses.
  2. Select New Redeployment Status.
